The beds and feather pillows were amazingly soft and comfortable. The room had AC which was a huge plus because it had been so hot and hard to sleep at other hotels. The best sleep we’ve had on our trip so far. Loved the quaint town.

An excellent team of staff. Nothing too much trouble and they all seemed to be happy in their work. It really does make a difference. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The hotel could do with a lift but because it is a listed building that’s not possible. Would recommend the hotel and we will visit again.

We received a warm welcome at check-in and enjoyed nice sized room with a very comfortable bed and pillows. The hotel has a good amount of parking (at a very reasonable rate) and a good offering at breakfast. I’d definitely look to stay here again. 4 stars instead of 5 due to dirty glassware in the room, tired-looking carpet and not enough coffee provided in the room.
